General presentation of the Summer School in History of Economic Thought, Economic Philosophy and Economic History

​The Summer School was established in 1998 with the following aims:

To provide a thematic and specialised formation to PhD students in these fields of study;

To guarantee the diffusion and scientific assessment of their work;

To provide new approaches and enhance knowledge in contemporary economic analysis;

To introduce PhD students to trans-disciplinary perspectives in the social sciences.

In line with this general approach, the Summer School is organized as follows:

Seminars presented by invited professors and researchers on a specific topic, different each year;

Workshops where PhD students present their work as written contributions to the debate, discussing them with senior scholars;

Tutorials aiming at helping PhD students with preparation of their work with a view to its further diffusion and publication.

About 30 PhD students and young scholars make up the usual attendance at the Summer School, joined by about 15 senior scholars. The working language is English.

A certificate of participation in the Summer School will be issued to the PhD students and young scholars who apply for it and have satisfactorily attended the seminars, workshops, and tutorials. This certificate will provide the PhD students with the ECTS, credits that will be recognized by their institutions.
